What Happens When You Nonchalantly Burn Your Bridges in Life?

in #mindset5 years ago
Hello, Steemians! How are you all? I'm back this week. I'm touring to promote my new single * Outono * and many days working as a speaker at corporate events and I've had to be absent due to some health problems because I've been working a lot in recent months and my schedule is very crowded and I need to try to balance a bit my routine at this time.

But this week I will be here with you all.

Let's move on!

===================

Philosophers and social theorists often argue about the meaning of life in the current state of our civilization.
Moreover, they want to define the roadmap of this life in order to improve social interactions and tweak our economy to better suit the diversity of different cultures.
Today, I am going to make a case for our bridges in life.

If life is all about connecting with other people and sharing in the complexity of social interaction, or working towards your goals and improving yourself on a daily basis, then this is the ultimate design:
Life is a road, but the footing is not always the same. When you work for your goals or try to improve yourself, you are walking on fields and roads.
When people come into this equation (which is unavoidable) the road turns to a bridge. Our connections and interactions with other people are all bridges between the groundwork of our self-discovery and trial.
Our experiences make us who we are, and despite our best efforts to not admit this, there comes a time when we will need our bridges again.

Here is the lesson that I want to teach you today: Even though you may work hard to be the person you are, you will still need your bridges in order to achieve success.
Because if you want to see your vision manifested in the real world, you are going to need people that can help you along the way.
People who have their own bridges and connections can connect them with yours. There, you will have the ultimate tree of life; groundwork and bridges.
Without these two pillars, your efforts will be fruitless.
A person who has competence but doesn’t have bridges cannot achieve success.
A person who has bridges but doesn’t possess a certain about of competence cannot accomplish anything.

Last but not least, we should remember that when we cross the bridges of our life, we should not burn them behind us.
There are two reasons for that; first, you must understand that a bridge for you can also be an opportunity for other people. It doesn’t hurt to lend a hand and help different people.
Second, you can be sure that there will come a time when you will need those bridges again, both to get back to a certain spot or help you get out of harm’s way.
People who nonchalantly burn their bridges or do not take them seriously always struggle to achieve their goals in life.
Do not take your connections and your competence for granted. You have to work hard to gain them both!

A BIG HUG!

I have been working very hard on this blog since the beginning. I have a very busy life but I am giving my best and believe me I have shared experiences that I have been coaching thousands of people and I know that the change of the Mindset should be daily. I am already grateful to see you giving upvotes to each other and you can see this with the fact that many already have 8, 9, 10 upvotes. But I'm sure that with the effort of all of us we will see a community with, more and more upvotes each others and for that everyone should get engaged so we can make it come true. I believe and we can! Resteem...

***Remember Community: Please, if you commented and upvote on a new post I did, please always go back to the previous one because if someone in the community commented lastly because of time zone differences it will be without your upvote and that would not be fair.

You all know the goal! We can reach: More and More Upvotes each others!

I am here making a list of all of you who have helped build this community by voting for each other who write meaningful comments and soon I will respond to everyone with comment and thank you all because I can already see this spirit being built in this Positive Mindset community and help between all of you.

You will receive my upvote in all material and brief comments I will do this in all the posts I am following very closely and I can see what the people who are generous and contribute to this legacy that I am trying to build with all of you can become reality in a short time.

AND

First of all, I would like to thank all of you, who are the most active and proactive in this community, showing your generosity and always with meaningful comments. From now on I will always make a list of these incredible people who have helped to expand our goal of growing ever more.

But I ask that if you are new around here you read many of the previous posts because they make it clear that we are building a community with respect among all, generosity and this blog is for those who really want to start moving their Mindset to positive and moreover be part of the growth of all of us who contribute to this blog.

Thanks All of You!!!!

I think Steem is a great examplenof how bridges and connections can empowe is to succeed on our goals. The power of community is a fundamental factor behind the success of many innovative and potential disruptive ideas like the one we participate here daily!

Welcome back, @chbartist
Good luck with your single and the tours as speaker.
Burning bridges suck, especially when we do it out of carelessness. Sometimes it is just a matter of making a call or sending a message or email to refresh relationships and we postpone it until the next chance and next thing you know you have not contacted that bridge in ages and then you feel embarrassed you'd do it to ask for a favor, so you'd rather not and there you are a bridge burnt!
In my town people had a nasty saying to illustrate the fact that we need people more than we think or want to admit (and therefore should make sure we have help available when needed):
Your ass doesn't shit only once.

I know from personal experience the implications of burning one's bridges. I did try to rebuild those bridges but the damage was already done. I can only move forward from here and try to build new bridges and form new bonds with people to progress through life. I miss the old connections that I once had, those bridges were forged over many years and took all but an instant to destroy. Once again it comes back to appreciating the things that you have in your life and not taking them for granted, complacency becomes such an expensive thing to allow into our lives. Thanks for your post @chbartist you make some very good points.

if you can make a brick, you can build a bridge.

Good sir you are back very nice great article 👍 this is truth human development success nothing without supporting each other.

HI @chbartist it is good see you back again on steem for long days. Might you disappear from the plateform but any I read your post, ofcourse hardwork matter but some time you need some thing odd to fullfill your job. If all we are completely self-sufficient then what is the meanings of helping each other for God's blessings. May you understand what I want say

Welcome back. Congratulations on your new single. Sorry to hear that you're not feeling well though. Hopefully you get better soon. Great advice about bridges. I agree that everyone needs help at some point so it's important to build and maintain professional relationships with others. You never really know if or when you will need that relationship again

Well-done. God will make you stronger and more balanced to impact more lives in Jesus name... Amen

You often see people regret maybe not having said something they've wanted to say to someone in the heat of a dispute or argument, but I've learned the hard way that it is a form of burning bridges when you think you're getting even.

Hello dear friend, I'm very happy to see you back in steemit. I hope you get better ... and I wish you much success with your new single.
This topic of the bridges is interesting, they are necessary and it is always good to have them there, at hand.
